Evacuees Return After Propane Cloud Incident
Firefighters roused Gamlen family in a mobile home as a propane leak created a fog like cloud near their residence. A gas company representative shut off the tank and crews cooled the vapor until it dissipated. Route closures and temporary housing were used as a precaution, with residents allowed back by morning. The leak appeared due to an aged hose line with no sign of vandalism.
